Dear Charles

I hope to God you may have been able to do something
with the S.G.: if not, we perish — Just what you expected
has happened: Mr. L is exercising a negative upon the Bill,
a negative which I fear will be effectual. I have not seen
him: but the Report from Mr Long is that is working and
working to put it into a Parliamentary shape (meaning always
the Short Bill which I left with you) but with little hope of
being able to do it in time — I shall let him work undisturbed
and whatever he makes of it I shall not object to,
unless the S.G. steps in to deliver me out of his hands
From the first and only objection that happened to break
out, judge of the rest — To give the establishment a name!
never was any thing so unparliamentary! never was any
such thing put into a Bill before — My answer Ø was —
not that in speaking of a thing there was a convenience
in having a name to call it by — that would have been
impertinent
